He said it would oversee the government's polici...

When Scott Morrison's surprised everyone by winning the 2019 Federal election, he boasted that it was a 'miracle'. He was the Liberal Party's Golden Boy who had the Midas touch. Well that shine has well and truly worn off. As a flick through various news sites today he is receiving widespread criti...

If that's true, it's pretty pathetic mate. There are plenty of ways to make your vote count - with a bit of research :? I agree. The thing is Clogs is hyper-political. He spent most of last year on this forum trolling ALP State Premiers, and praising Scott Morrison and Gladys Berejiklian. Yet he no...

Indeed, based on numbers. Were always bad on that nasty piece of work. The reshuffle does have to cover over more than Porter ... Sounds like something Kim Philby would say. Each to their own.

Got into an argument on Twitter with some right wing Sky News spaz about 1 in 100 year floods. She says there's a cycle that happens every 100 years and that this is mirroring the big flood in 1921 in the Hastings River (her grandad told her about it) and that climate change isn't a factor.

Morrison has been going full retard this morning, from what I've read. He threatened at least one journalist and made a snarky remark to a newscorpse reporter about people in glass houses. So in order to try and worm his way out of a few questions, he has bullied one journalist and indicated he know...

Labor are complicit here. If they commit to the full ICAC which includes caps on donations, it would romp in. You would think with years of NSW Corruption, and the press coverage that is ongoing (Both parties), they would know this. I do dispair at the direction of the ALP at times. They really do ...

I think I like her even more now. Van came into student politics at UOW at some point not long after I left. From memory, she was an anarchist, at least at some point. I've read some of her articles online since and they had the skill of whoever was the layout artist when she was editor of the UOW ...

Morrison will ride out today's latest scandal like they have ridden out every scandal previously because they will never be held to account by the media. Or the opposition who may also have skeletons in their own closet? Why are they so silent? This should be manna from heaven, a chance to fvcking ...

That's a decent article but almost all media in Australia have subjective views on defamation law. I've read the pleadings in the case and it seems to me the plaintiff is drawing a long bow, although I'm no expert in the area. There are some imputations in the pleadings that don't stack up. Addition...

Porter is using NSW lawyers so I assume he intends to use NSW jurisdiction. I haven't had anything to do with defamation law in many years but I had a quick look over the act and prima facie it looks like s.29 is going to be a pretty big hurdle for Porter. Mind you, he's desperate to save his career...

I think many people in the community expect that politicians should have some measure of accountability.

No problem from my end. You proudly support the most corrupt and depraved govt this country has ever known. Your vote has allowed them to act the way they do.

Given Porter was the minister responsible for the Robodebt debacle, where many of his and the LNPs victims committed suicide and others went through god only knows what sort of mental torture, he deserves no sympathy, none at all.

You raise an interesting side-point to this debate. That is, the whole way our legal system is not equipped to deal with he/she said cases, particularly sexual assault. Victims are harangued on the stand about their sexual behaviour and lifestyle under the assumption this improves the defendant’s r...

it's about advertising revenue. In the context of the thread, yes, that's the bottom line. The wrap of events in Aus, though, are just a tiny sliver of the story. Less than one hundredth of it.
